Overtime Smoke Screen Exposed | Bahamas News
Description
FNM leader Michael Pintard blasts the Prime Minister for using the BPL overtime scandal as a distraction from deeper crises—unreliable power, soaring living costs, and stagnant wages. He accuses the current administration of approving excessive payouts, including $600K in overtime for three employees in one department, even on Christmas, while questioning accountability and oversight. The PM defends his energy reforms, citing inherited infrastructure woes and plans to modernize with LNG and reduce generator reliance—but Pintard scoffs, demanding transparency on $430M spent over three years and holding the PM personally responsible given his long tenure. “The buck stops with me,” he says, but Pintard insists it’s time for real fixes—not smoke screens.
